I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Miss Liang is getting prettier. Are you visiting the silver shop alone?"

Mrs. Gui asked with a smile.

Liang Yu shook her face and blushed slightly, saying, "I came here with my mother!"

Mrs. Gui's heart skipped a beat: Her mother? She's the wife of Governor Liang!

Mrs. Gui suddenly perked up, took Liang Yuyao's hand and asked about her well-being.

As they were talking, Mrs. Liang and Jiaojiao came upstairs.

Mrs. Liang was slightly startled when she saw a strange woman holding Liang Yuyao's hand.

"Mother, is this the Madam Gui whom I met when I was worshipping Buddha at Xishan?"

Liang Yuyao took the opportunity to pull his hand away from Madam Gui.

"Meet Madam Liang!"

Mrs. Gui was a little timid when she met the first lady of Anzhou for the first time, so she bowed and said.

"Mrs. Gui? Is there a family with the surname Gui in Anzhou?"

Mrs. Liang looked the young lady up and down without any hesitation.

She has been in Anzhou for two years and knows all the women in the wealthy families in Anzhou.

Those who can come to Cuijinlou to buy jewelry must be rich or noble, and must not be from ordinary families.

When Mrs. Gui saw Mrs. Liang looking at her with a scrutinizing look, she felt uncomfortable.

No matter what, she is also a relative of the Anzhou Tongpan, how can she be looked down upon?

She held her breath and blurted out, "I am the mother of Fu Tongpan!"

Everyone at the scene was stunned and looked at Mrs. Gui in surprise.

Including Landian, everyone was shocked by Mrs. Gui's words.

Lan Dian came to his senses immediately.

The master has promoted her to be the legal wife, so she is the legitimate mistress of the Fu family.

Why can't I call myself Fu Jichang's mother?

Although thinking so, Lan Dian still felt panicked.

Mrs. Liang and Jiaojiao looked at each other.

Fu Jichang, the mother of Fu Tongpan?

How can it be?

The lady in front of him was only a few years older than Judge Fu.

Mrs. Liang and Jiaojiao were both people who had seen the world, and they immediately understood what was going on.

Madam Gui is the stepmother of Pan Fu.

Jiaojiao immediately tried to smooth things over. She bowed to Madam Gui and said apologetically:

"I am Qiu Jiaojiao, the wife of Ruo Xiaolian. I didn't know that Madam Fu was here. It was Jiaojiao who neglected Madam Fu."

"Hello, Madam Ruo!"

Mrs. Gui said something quickly to hide the embarrassment on her face.

She didn't even know why she said that just now.

In the past, she would never dare to introduce herself as Fu Jichang’s mother, even if she was beaten to death.

Mrs. Liang quickly put away the arrogant look on her face and said with a smile:

"When I came out, my Liang Zhizhou was still discussing things with Fu Tongpan. They are the parents of the government, and their work is very hard!"

Mrs. Gui nodded.

"I didn't expect you and Yao'er already knew each other, what a coincidence!"

The three ladies exchanged greetings.

After Liang Yuyao said hello, he went to the third floor.

She wished she could leave here as soon as possible to avoid her stepmother saying embarrassing things and making her lose face.

Liang Yuyao listened to the waiter's introduction absentmindedly, feeling a buzz in his heart.

"Danfeng, should Yuhui take a rest today?"

Danfeng said, "Yes, girl. He didn't go home last month for the holiday. I wonder if he will come back this time?"

"It's still early, let's go to the academy to see him!"

After saying that, Liang Yu walked down the stairs.

Three women downstairs were looking at jewelry around a glass display case.

Liang Yuyao walked over and told Mrs. Liang that he was going to see his younger brother Yuhui.

"Yes, Yuhui is on leave today. I finally met Madam Fu today. Let's chat for a while. You go pick him up! I'll go back and ask the kitchen to cook his favorite dishes!"

Liang Yu shook his head and nodded with a smile, feeling very unhappy.

Mrs. Liang really knows how to act according to the situation.

When did Yu Hui come back and cook his favorite meals?

Liang Yuyao felt a little nauseous.

"Miss Liang, let's go now. Pick something you like. This is a meeting gift from Jiaojiao."

Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Liang Yuyao was about to decline when she heard Madam Liang say, "Madam Ru, my eldest daughter is shy, let her go first, I'll pick one for her!"

"Whatever, whatever!" Jiaojiao smiled happily.

Liang Yuyao bowed to the three people and walked out of the lobby.

Madam Gui looked at Liang Yu's graceful figure and said with a smile, "Madam Liang, your daughter is so pretty, she will definitely marry into a good family. Is she engaged?"

"Not yet. She is the apple of my Lord Liang's eye. I can't bear to let her go."

Mrs. Liang said.

"That's right. My son went to the battlefield a few years ago. After he came back, he became a judge. He was very busy. The old lady was worried about this every day!"

Mrs. Gui said.

Mrs. Liang turned her head away and said nothing more.

She wondered in her heart what Madam Fu meant. She felt unhappy when she saw her holding Yu Yao's hand affectionately just now.

Yu Yao is going to marry in the capital.

He is a small magistrate of Anzhou, his family is impoverished and he has no support, but now he is a favorite of the emperor.

But living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. One day the emperor might be unhappy and no one would say a word for him.

The Liang family would never agree to such a family.

Liang Zhizhou has wanted to become an official in Beijing for a long time, but unfortunately he has no strong connections.

She said that if she married Yu Yao to a prominent family in the capital, wouldn't that be marrying up with them?

Liang Zhizhou slapped his thigh and praised his wife for her thoughtful thoughts.

Mrs. Liang has already asked someone to inquire in the capital.

Even if I can't become a wife, being a concubine or something like that would be fine.

After all, she was just the daughter of a small prefect.

Jiaojiao saw that both of them were silent and the atmosphere was temporarily deadlocked.

She smiled and said, "It will be my birthday in a few days. You two ladies must honor me by coming to my house. I will have a new batch of glassware, candlesticks, lamps, aromatherapy jewelry, table decorations... a lot of things."

"Really?" Mrs. Liang suddenly became excited.

"Such a large glass display stand can be taken in by your family, so there must be a lot of good things."

Mrs. Gui also echoed.

"When the time comes, I'll introduce you to my elder sister. It's all thanks to her that my family can get these novelties. Oh, and she's planning to open a clothing store. She's currently preparing for it. When it opens, I'll take you two ladies to have a look..."

The three of them were chatting happily.

Mrs. Gui took a fancy to a gold and jade hairpin and a glass bracelet.

Mrs. Liang wanted an aromatherapy table, but there was only one left and it was not the style she liked, so she had to give up.

She took a fancy to a well-made headdress and picked out a bracelet.

Jiaojiao insisted that Mrs. Liang pick a piece of jewelry for Liang Yuyao.

Mrs. Liang picked out a pair of gold teardrop earrings.

"The earrings are for Miss Liang, the colored glaze bracelets are given by Jiaojiao to the two sisters, and I have to pay for the headdress and the gold hairpin."

Jiaojiao said this neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Oh, no, Madam Ruo, you are doing business..."

It was Mrs. Gui's first time here, so she felt embarrassed to ask for something for free and quickly declined.

"If the two ladies recognize me as their sister, please accept it as a gift from the younger sister to the older sister!"
